Mary Poppins Meets Midnight: The Fan Trailer Giving Disney Fans Nightmares
What happens when you swap Julie Andrews’ cheery “practically perfect” tunes for a pulse-pounding violin and echoing children’s laughter?
One crafty YouTuber just answered that with a remix so eerie even grown-ups might clutch a night-light.
By slicing scenes straight from the 1964 classic (no CGI and no new footage!) and drenching them in storm-cloud color grading, the creator reframes Mary’s magical entrance as the arrival of something… otherworldly.
The umbrella drift suddenly feels like a predatory swoop. Bert’s chalk drawings? Portals you don’t want to hop into.
And that carpetbag, once whimsical, now seems bottomless in a way Lovecraft would applaud.
The genius lies in subtle timing: a smile held half a second longer, a spoonful of sugar echoed as a ghostly whisper.
Film editors have long known the power of sound and light to flip a narrative on its head; this 90-second trailer is a masterclass you can watch on your coffee break.
It’s also a wickedly fun litmus test: do you still trust Mary to tuck you in, or will you side-eye every nursery rhyme tonight?
Seriously, give this a watch!
Hit share if you think Mary’s spooky side is the funniest thing you’ve seen since cats in costumes.
